Join us for a grounded, practical look at how virtual fencing, remote water sensors, and a focus on soil health can make grazing management more practical and adaptable on working ranches.

Jim Armendariz (NRCS State Rangeland Management Specialist) will present on the use of these tools and how they have benefitted his family’s ranch. He’ll also walk through funding options that can help cover equipment and start-up costs and discuss how his focus on soil health has simplified grazing management, making it more intuitive, efficient, and adaptable.

Hosted by the USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range and NMSU’s Department of Animal and Range Sciences, this webinar series brings forward innovations in rangeland and livestock management from the U.S. and beyond. From new technologies to fresh perspectives on time-tested practices, each session is designed to spark ideas and share practical insights. Our first series spotlights virtual fencing, exploring its applications for grazing management, livestock production, and ecosystem restoration.
